Focusing on the jute-mill workers of Calcutta, the book explores their historical context and its impact on class solidarity and revolutionary actions between 1890 and 1940. Dipesh Chakrabarty critiques traditional Marxist narratives, arguing against reductionist views of culture and consciousness. He delves into the complexities of labor history, examining how the workers' environment shaped their collective identity and challenges established Marxian concepts like "capital" and "proletariat."
